Matt D’Auria is a healthcare communications industry veteran with profound respect for the science behind today’s innovative medicines. As CEO, he drives the fusion of strategy, scientific rigor, creativity, and digital innovation that distinguishes the HCG agencies as world-leading medical communications firms. A graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, with a BS in molecular and cell biology, Matt continued his education and received an executive certificate in pharmaceutical drug development from UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business. His career began in the laboratory as a bench scientist studying signal transduction pathways in diabetes mellitus, and now, more than 20 years later, he’s at the forefront of medical education innovation.

Matt is a novice wine collector with a particular fondness for a well-aged Barolo. He enjoys cooking and is happiest when his kitchen is full of family and close friends.

Earlier in his career as a CPA at Arthur Andersen, Brian managed business advisory and acquisition engagements with some of the world’s most prestigious organizations, ranging from consumer packaged goods to advertising firms, including HCG’s parent, Omnicom Group. He has drawn on this experience extensively, to the benefit of both his internal- and external-facing responsibilities as HCG’s global CFO and COO.

Brian, a passionate advocate for our people, works with HCG's business leaders and clients to create value through optimization, efficiency, and creative solutions. In no industry, perhaps, is this more relevant than in the healthcare sector. Brian has been a partner to both our large pharmaceutical and small biotech clients in overcoming the challenges they increasingly face with regard to financial scarcity and a general deleveraging of a legacy infrastructure built on the backs of blockbuster, mass-market products.

Brian’s current passion outside of work centers around everything “kids.” Process optimization and efficiency do not seem to be at the forefront of his 3 small boys’ agenda.
